NQ & ES Premarket Comment Monday 13-10-2025 E-mini Nasdaq-100 FuturesCME_MINI:NQ1!FTAKASGood morning everyone, Following the recent market crash, we’re now left with unfilled gaps both above and below current price levels. As a result, the market is currently trading within an equilibrium zone — a balanced range — after opening significantly higher and leaving a large imbalance behind. Personally, I don’t expect further downside from here. However, given that today is a U.S. market holiday, I wouldn’t advise active trading. Still, since I’m committed to providing analysis on every open session, here are the scenarios I’m watching: ____________________________________ Daily Bias: Neutral Possible Scenarios: 1. Scenario One: At the open, price could pull back to find support near the NWOG level. As this unfolds, we’ll likely notice bearish price action showing short-term weakness — breaking through support levels while struggling to gain acceptance above resistance zones. This will signal that the market is testing liquidity pockets before making its true directional move. Once the initial volatility fades and the noise settles, the price action should reveal its true intention. If price then reclaims the equilibrium point (purple line) with conviction, we could see a bullish reversal to the upside. 2. Scenario Two: Alternatively, price may continue to grind higher gradually without offering meaningful pullbacks or discounted entries. If the first scenario unfolds, we’ll be looking for short opportunities down into the purple line, and then transition to long setups once we see a clean reclaim below and back above that equilibrium area. If the second scenario plays out, we’ll remain on the sidelines, as any participation under such structure would expose us to unnecessary risk. ________________________________ Trade Focus Try to capture either the red (bearish) move or the blue (bullish) move — and leave everything else aside. Avoid forcing trades in the middle of the range; stay patient and let the market commit to a clear directional bias before engaging. ________________________________ Technical Guidance As the market opens, we’ll monitor the initial price action closely. After the recent volatility and structural resets, today’s best move may simply be to observe. Let the market show its hand first — watch how liquidity is engineered and absorbed. Smart traders avoid overtrading on days like this — just as a cat avoids a dog. Remember: it’s always better to have a day with no profits than a day with losses. Stay disciplined, remove ego from decision-making, and use today as a learning opportunity — both for your trading career and your personal development. Don’t get influenced by social media noise — most traders out there are still lost in volatility. Be patient, stay sharp, and wait for the market to present clean, high-probability setups aligned with your plan. PF
